    Bare Necessity Wax & Spa (lobby)
    Betsy L.

    Between the pandemic and the winter months, it's been quite some time since I felt like I wanted (or perhaps needed) some help with skin and body-hair maintenance, but I recently decided I wanted some smoothing, given the approach of pool weather and the possibility of in-person socializing. I had noticed Bare Necessity on a recent visit to St. Philip's Plaza, and decided to give them a try rather than the chain I had used pre-pandemic. Bare Necessity is great!!! The spa is quiet, clean, and relaxing, with calming music and serene décor. The lobby has lots of skin products to augment the procedures they offer. The individual rooms are very comfortable, and you can tell that they do a good job cleaning between every customer. I saw Claudia, who is absolutely wonderful. She was quick and highly professional with the wax, but very friendly! We chatted the whole time, which made the appointment fun and made me look forward to seeing her again at future appointments. Checkout is easy and touch-free; you can do a lot of it from your phone, which I thought was neat. Their prices are very competitive as well. I highly recommend Bare Necessity!

    I like this spa. The staff is polite and hospitable, the spa is airy and clean, and the service is top notch. You'll leave smooth and bikini ready if you are in for a wax. I'll be trying the facial soon and will update this review to include that service as well. Definitely recommend.

    This place is amazing! It's always clean, front desk staff are always friendly when you walk in and Claudia is THE BEST! She always makes me feel comfortable during my wax and then I feel fabulous when she's done! Highly recommend.

    I've had several facials at Beauty Republic. I've seen both Marissa and Vanessa, and they are such…read morelovely people. A facial experience with Beauty Republic is really unlike anything else out there. One of the things that drew me to them is that they were willing to use only products that contained plant ingredients. I'm unable to use products with synthetic chemicals because my body is very sensitive to them. Many skincare businesses have a problem with this because so many products that are out there are not actually clean and non-toxic. This was not a problem at Beauty Republic though. Not only did my skin feel fantastic post-facial, they sell products that I can buy to use at home, and there are so many options to choose from that meet my criteria of being clean and non-toxic! We are so lucky to have this business in our city.

    Beauty Republic has moved locations and changed their structure since previous review, so a review…read moreupdate is in order! Beauty Republic is now located at the address reflected on their business page here on Yelp. The studio is actually located on a residential property, but it is NOT inside the main house. They make sure to provide you with instructions via text message the day of your appointment, which is very helpful. The studio is now officially a team of two, lead by founder Marissa Duarte and her sister in law Vanessa. The services no longer include nails services. Their focus is entirely on skincare. Vanessa does offer waxing and lash lift/tinting services though! So, if you are looking for a place that is entirely dedicated to facials of various kinds with a holistic approach, this is it! And it's LOVELY. The studio is cozy and super well appointed. I was super relaxed the entire time. I went in for a facial that included gua sha with Vanessa. Vanessa is incredibly sweet and fun to talk to before and after your session. She keeps the session chat free so that you can indulge in all the relaxation possible and I loved it! Another nice aspect to their business is that it is a gratuity free zone, meaning that the pricing on their website is what you pay for and that's it. So you can think of it as the gratuity is included. I've never experienced that before and I must say it's a really nice way to enjoy a treatment. After my facial, Vanessa was gracious with her time and gave me some tips on how to use my gua sha stone at home. Her energy is wonderful and both she and Marissa seem to be super dedicated to continuing their education and developing all the skills they need to be the best! I will definitely we returning again for another facial and plan on booking one for my husband as well.

She is quick, thorough, professional, and her spa is always clean and organized. Melissa is conveniently located in a collective of salons and spa on First Ave. and Limberlost called "Sola Salons". Melissa's schedule is perfect for people who work, and she has appointments available to accommodate anyone's schedule. I have been to lots of other spas that do a great job, but often for a 30 min. appointment ends up being one hour ...the time spent checking in, waiting, and the waxing not to mention costs after tip $50-$60. I just had an appointment today...no joke I was in and out in 15 minutes and paid $40 w/ tip! Who wants a bikini wax to last any longer than that?! Holla!

    It's important to know that Zen Beauty Spa is a small affair, essentially located in a large…read morebuilding titled "Sola Salons" with other small businesses of nail salons, hair salons, etc. While Zen Beauty Spa is comprised of an aesthetician and a massage therapist, this review is solely for my experience with the massage therapist, Chelsea. Good ole Groupon brought me here to enjoy a 90-min massage for a great price. Chelsea offers five different types of massage: swedish, lymphatic, deep-tissue, neuromuscular and aromatherapy (Aromatherapy is $10 extra). I received a deep tissue/swedish massage and can honestly say it was one of the best massages I've ever received. You know it's a great massage when you drift into that state of semi-consciousness somewhere around the 30 minute mark. Customer service was top notch and I will most definitely be back to visit again. Overall, not only was this a great massage experience, but I love to support new small businesses. It is obvious that Chelsea is passionate about her little spa and her profession as a massage therapist. *Note: due to the popularity of this Groupon deal, Chelsea is booking into late March now. However, if you want a quality massage experience she is definitely worth the wait. *Right next to Sunflower Markets, perfect for a nice little walk around for yummy goodies after your massage.

She uses glue that lasts and lashes that are simply beautiful. I always get the classic lashes, but I've seen her hybrid and volume lashes, and they are marvelous. I see her about every 3 weeks. Her prices are very competitive and the quality is the best I've found. I wholeheartedly recommend you go see her if you want to get lashes for a special occasion or like me just do them on the regular. I always thought the expense was too much and even said out loud I'd never afford to do lashes for $60-something every 3-4 weeks, but I did it once and I'm hooked. And it's worth it! It saves SO much time getting ready in the mornings. I rarely use any makeup anymore because they create such a nice natural look. You have to brush the lashes and take care of them, but now that I've worked them into my lifestyle and budget, I plan to keep doing them for a while.

Maybe it did at one time, but now it has fallen into disrepair and shows too many signs of been neglected.

Sorry, I just can't recommend, although the esthetician herself was talented and friendly enough. I purchased a 2 pack waxing from groupon, but wont be returning. And really, with all the non essential businesses being closed for weeks there was plenty of time to fix 'er up. Shame.
